PLAYLISTS

Luke jams pretty hardcore to “Mr. Blue Sky” from in the opening scene ofGuardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2. It’s contagious, really. So you can start to get in the zone, we’re putting our playlists right here out in the open. We’ll continue to curate, so check back in closer to the big day for more tracks.

Or maybe you’re discovering this gold mine during the wedding because you dig our music choices. If so, we salute you and tip our hats to your outstanding taste. Regardless of what brought you here - welcome fellow travelers. Now turn it up.

Note: We actually have a folder of playlists in Spotify, but their current system won’t let us simply share the folder.So, in the meantime - below are links to individual playlists.

Insider tip: If you’re really in the mood to roll your windows down and relish the autumn air - go with the “reception: mingling greatness” playlist. Surefire mood-booster and party-starter. You’re welcome. Now for reals - turn it up.

Corporate Worship: Overflowing with Thanks

Worship through corporate singing will play a big role in our Friday night gathering as well as the wedding ceremony itself. Get to know these songs so you can sing them at the top of your lungs with us!

Pre-Ceremony: Folky Worship

This will be playing as people are being seated at Lakeside Field. Filled with joyful, anthemic, Rend Collective vibes that serve as a notice: “Hey! The gospel is amazing and thanking God is why we’re here!”

Ceremony: Procession & Exit

For the bride walking down the aisle and right after the big kiss!

Reception: Mingling Greatness

This seven-hour playlist is amply supplied with the happiest folk-pop tunes, plus a healthy dose of throwbacks to keep the wedding festivities flowing.

Reception: Newlywed Entrance & 1st Dances

Anybody else always tear up at the father-daughter dances? No, just us?

Reception: Get Up and Danceee

I don’t think any further description is needed.

Reception: Slow Dancin’ Romance

And now we’re gonna slow it down for all the lovers out there tonight…

Reception: Bouquet, Garter, & Couple Exit

Don’t confuse this with the party winding down. Oh no. We like to think of it as the pièce de résistance.

Bonus: “That’s Amore” L’italiano de Dean Martin

Dean Martin - the classic crooner - actually came to America the son of an Italian immigrant and only spoke Italian until the age of 5 (all according to his bio on Spotify). Consider this bonus playlist a nod to Luke and Melody’s Italian honeymoon.
